Hero Listening
When my teacher gives a mission, I use my Hero Ears . I stop what I am doing and look at the teacher. This helps me know what to do next.
I Listen
Mission Changes
Sometimes a mission ends and a new one starts. When I hear the timer, I clean up fast. Fast cleanup is a Super Skill !

Lesson 3
Mission Briefing
Generalize "Calm Crusader" self-regulation skills into classroom routines. Frame transitions and listening as "Hero Missions" to maintain engagement and reduce changing-activity anxiety. Focus on student identity as a contributor.
Mission Goals:
Increase transition independence (Clean Up).
Reduce shouting/off-task behavior (Listening).
Key Concept:
"Hero Ears" are for listening to whole-group directions. "Fast Cleanup" is the superhero way to finish a mission.
Implementation
Visual Anchors: Point to specific "Mission Rules" in the story before each new activity.The Countdown: Frame timers as "Mission Countdowns." Give a 2-min warning.Ear Checks: Touch your ears as a silent cue for "Hero Listening" before directions.
Coaching Scripts
For Transitions:
"New mission alert! I see Hero Ears. Now it's Fast Cleanup time. Beat the timer!"
For Waiting:
"You are doing the 'Quiet Waiting' mission like a pro. Super calm focus."

Crusader Support Tips
Non-Verbal Support: Use a physical "Mission Card" with a picture of the next activity. Hand it to the student as the "Next Objective."
Sensory Check: If "Fast Cleanup" is too loud, allow headphones. Frame them as "Hero Gear" needed for noisy missions.

Lesson 1
Self-Regulation Mission
Establish a foundational identity as a "Calm Crusader." Focus on replacement behaviors (Break Card, Safe Body) for physical dysregulation. Use repetitive tracing and visual cues to solidify these routines.
Identity Goals:
Aggression replacement with "Power Reset" breaks.
Positive association with "Safe Body" outcomes.
Teacher Mindset:
Avoid "No Hitting." Use "Show me your Hero Move." Shift perspective from punishment to training sessions.
Implementation
Pre-Correction: Review "Power of Peace" before high-arousal times (recess, transitions).The Break Card: Prompt at first sign of physiological arousal (flushing, heavy breathing).Muscle Memory: Build memory for "Safe Body" during calm 1:1 sessions using tracing.
Problem Sizing
Small Problem Script:
"You can fix it with a breath! Try your Calm Crusader breathing. One, two, three..."
Big Problem Script:
"This is a big mission. Heroes know when to call for backup. Use your words for help."
Calm Crusader Response Matrix
Behavior Teacher Response Hero Script Growling / Tense Silent Break Card swap "Power break time." Hitting / Kicking Protect peers; move away "Safe bodies stay." Task Refusal Offer mission choice (A or B) "Pick your mission." Aggressive Threats Neutral categorizing "Use Word of Power."
Success Criteria:
Independent break use.
Hands in "Safe Zone".
Labels problem size.
Trainer Tip: Identity First
Lead with identity: "You are a Calm Crusader." Shift from "trouble" to "training." Celebrate independent breaks as "Legendary Hero Moves."

My Hero Voice
Sometimes I feel mad or scared. Instead of using "Scary Words" or "Safe Hands" (hitting), I use my Hero Voice to say how I feel. My voice is a super tool!
Use Words
Asking for Help
If a mission is too hard, I don't need to yell or throw things. I can use my words of power to ask for help from my teacher or a friend.
My Power Phrase:
Help Please

The Power Stop
When someone is too close or I don't like what they are doing, I don't need to push. I can use my Power Stop word to keep my bubble safe.
Trace my strong word:
STOP
My Word of Power in Action
Draw yourself asking for help or using the Stop word!
Word Power
When I use my words of power, people understand me and I feel like a Hero!

Lesson 4
The Communication Mission
Shift identity from "Aggressor" to "Word Expert." Replacement phrases must be high-utility and consistently reinforced to displace vocal threats and hitting.
Advanced Logic:
Categorize threats immediately: "I hear a Scary Word. We need a Word of Power to fix this mission. Try: 'I'm mad, I need space'."
Scaffolding
Modeling: Use the "Stop" word with a flat, calm affect when classroom boundaries are crossed.Echo Practice: Rehearse phrases during calm 1:1 play so they are accessible during crisis.Instant Reward: Grant "Help Please" requests *immediately* to prove word power.
Scripting
During Threats:
"I hear scary words. Use your Word of Power to tell me what you need."
When Stuck:
"Mission is hard! Use your Power Phrase: 'Help Please'."
Words of Power Dictionary
Feeling
Angry / Close
Scary Move
Push / Yell

Victory Check
Monitor usage with a tally system. Each independent "Power Word" replacement for a "Scary Move" earns a "Vocal Hero" token. Fade prompts as independence increases. Celebrate the "Independence Level" reached each week.

Lesson 2
The Safety Mission
Address peer-specific aggression by framing social interactions as a choice between "Scary Moves" (repel peers) and "Hero Moves" (attract/keep peers). Emphasize "Hero Space" to reduce physical encroachment.
Social Navigation
Visual Boundaries: Use a physical hoop or floor markers to define the "Hero Space" bubble during role-play.Impact Coaching: Narrate peer reactions: "Your friend moved away because they felt scared. What Hero Move can we use?"Safety Checks: Prompt: "Look at your friend's face. Are they smiling (Safe) or hiding (Scared)?"
Social Scripting
For Scary Moves:
"That move was scary. My body feels scared. I need to move away until you use a Hero Move."
For Hero Moves:
"I feel safe! Your safe hands make me want to stay and play. High five for Hero Hands!"
Friendship Move Analysis
Scary Moves (Blockers)
Shouting threats
Touching without asking
Encroaching on space
Grabbing toys away
Hero Moves (Joiners)
Using "Help Please"
Asking "Can I play?"
Keeping 1-arm distance
Waiting for a turn
Friendship Progress
Focus on the Safe vs Scared feedback loop. Avoid long lectures on "why" aggression is wrong; instead, target the social consequence: "Scary moves make friends leave. Hero moves make friends stay." Reinforce every prosocial initiation immediately.
